Bugatti Veyron new Road Test: $25,000 tires, 1010 horsepower, 0-60 in 2.5 sec Yeah, this is a land missile! This thing should be endorsed by the oil companies though.... 
Driving a Bugatti Veyron is like carrying a 14.6-foot-long open wallet that is spewing 50-dollar bills. Drivers rush up from behind, tailgating before swerving into either of the Veyron’s rear-three-quarter blind spots, where they hang ape-like out of windows to snap photos with their cell phones. They won’t leave, either, because they know the Bugatti, averaging 11 mpg, can’t go far without refueling and that its driver will soon need to take a minute to compose himself. And when you open the Veyron’s door to exit—a gymnastic feat that requires grabbing one of your own ankles to drag it across that huge, hot sill—you will be greeted by 5 to 15 persons wielding cameras and asking questions. If you’re wearing shorts or a skirt, here’s a tip: Wear underwear.

Their driveline loss is ridiculous. IIRC, it makes like 3000 hp at the crank. 1000 at the wheels...33% loss? Understandable because of the massive driveline involved, but ****. Imagine if it were more efficient.
I believe it would make 3000 if it was frictionless. As in no parsitic loss at all.
They have past the line of engineering and gone to complete and brutal force. There are no words for the monster they have created so one must simply push the accelerator and hope not to die.
